Our Story

Coastal, founded by husband and wife team Joe and Kimberly Kelly.

Bringing together expert craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a people-first approach.

Together, they created Coastal to meet the growing demand for personalised, design-led electrical and automation services.

As proud Master Electricians and an independent business, every project reflects their values: excellence, integrity, and genuine care.

With over 20 years of experience in architectural, electrical and home automation, Joe leads the team, with deep technical knowledge and a calm, solution-oriented mindset. His work with advanced systems, Lutron, Savant and Control4, has made Coastal Connections a trusted name in high-end automation across Auckland.
